MOUNTAIN LEADER

The Mountain Leader scheme is designed for people who want to lead groups in the mountains, hills and moorlands of the UK and Ireland. If you love being out in the mountains and want to share your enthusiasm with others, become a ML and you’ll never look back (unless you’re checking your group’s still there!). MLs operate the length and breadth of the country with all sorts of groups of people; from scouts and schoolchildren to outdoor instructors and OAPs. The award is what you make it and there are countless opportunities for passionate MLs. We have years of experience delivering fun and relaxed courses, whilst imparting loads of knowledge! We are also able to provide reassessments, please get in touch if you want to have a chat about arranging one as they are bespoke sessions.

The Rock Climbing Instructor is for those wanting to instruct climbing outdoors and indoors and is made up of a training and assessment element. We are approved Mountain Training providers, live for climbing and have years of experience delivering these courses, with a relaxed and fun atmosphere which we believe creates a great learning experience – even on assessments!

If you've completed your RCI (or SPA) and want to teach lead climbing on single pitch crags then this could be for you! The prerequisites for training are: 60 VS trad routes 60 6a sport routes 20 days working as an RCI (SPA) You'll need to register for the scheme with Mountain Training. Our bookings are now open for this course.

As an Association of Mountaineering Instructors mentor for the MCI scheme we are well place too help you achieve the standards required to pass your MCI and become a quality instructor. As well as being an approved mentor, MCI work is the companies full time job so being an MCI is what we do each and every day.

This week follows a similar itinerary to the actual assessment.

These days are a mix of navigation and security on steep ground, if you want a full day of either just get in touch! Max Ratio 1:4

As approved course providers we are up to date with Mountain Training guidelines and are experienced in delivering Rock Climbing Instructor courses.

Want to know what the MCI is all about? It can seem like a big step up from the RCI and ML schemes and whilst that may be true it's flipping awesome!

We'll spend these 2 days at a max ratio of 1:2 on some great multi pitch climbs and scrambles looking at how MCIs work on this kind of terrain. Loads of fun, loads of learning and loads of chance for a thousand questions.

To attend this taster you should have at least passed your RCI and have done your ML training.
